Derick Lemark Jackson, 40, and Larry Ford, 30, were arrested
and charged with trafficking marijuana, possession of a controlled substance
and use or possession of drug paraphernalia on Thursday.

Earlier in the week, deputies were contacted by officers
with the Dothan Police Department, who said they had evidence Jackson and Ford
were trafficking marijuana. Booking records show Ford, who has no known prior
arrests in Mobile County, lives in a house in Dothan.

Deputies followed the men to the Peach Place apartment
complex on Jeff Hamilton Road. Ford left the complex in a rental car with
Jackson following in another vehicle, said Lori Myles, public information
officer for MCSO.

Deputies stopped Ford's rental car, but Jackson fled in his
vehicle. Deputies called a K-9 Unit to the scene to assist in the search for
Jackson.

He was found in a wooded area off Grelot Road, where he
sustained several bites from the MCSO K-9 Unit, Myles said.

The men were found with "Spice," a synthetic form
of marijuana; $900 in cash and 20 pounds of marijuana, according to deputies.
